Science: a Discovery in Comics has been out for two months now, and has received a few really good reviews:
Marc Mason in the Comics Waiting Room:
“Her art is simple and straight-forward, and she always chooses function over form: everything works to service the lessons she is trying to impart. When people ask me about how comics can serve a purpose in the classroom, this is precisely the kind of book I use to demonstrate that very thing.”
—
Win Wiacek on ComicsReview.co.uk:
“A truly sharp and witty book.”
“Clear, concise, appropriately challenging and informatively funny, Science – A Discovery in Comics is a wonder of unpretentious, exuberant graphic craft and a timeless book we can all enjoy.”
—
Mark Squirek in the New York Journal of Books:
“Science: A Discovery in Comics is a book that will inspire both five year olds and their grandparents as they laugh along in discovery.”
—
Rob McMonigal on PanelPatter.com:
“I can’t recommend this one highly enough, both for younger readers and adults who enjoy overviews of expansive subjects.”
—
Martha Thomases on ComicMix.com:
“If you have a curious kid in your household, you could do worse than get her this book. Even if that kid is 60 years old.”

There have also been three great interviews:
- by Clay Fernald for DigBoston.com
- “Dutch cartoonist makes learning science easier” – by Andrew Smith
- “A Discovery in Comics” – by Suzette Chan for Sequential Tart
Needless to say, I’m over the moon with all these positive reviews and interviews!
Go buy my book! That many reporters can’t be wrong!
